Sandals Barbados

This is our 3rd Sandals resort and I found this one less luxurious. No Slippers, had to ask for Robe, no Sandals plastic laundry bags, only one key card given, kettle lid was broken and grumpy staff. The food was great and the Greenhouse Dinner was the highlight of the trip, manager Jack and our waiter Josiah were amazing. The biggest disappointment was I felt like I didn't pack right. I didn't pack a plastic bag for dirty clothes and slippers so my bed felt like sand paper due to the sand, had to result to putting a towel as a rug next to the bed to wipe my feet on before climbing in. We also felt the staff especially at the bars were no very nice. I am not one to complain but compared to the other resorts this was less than desirable. Will think twice on booking this resort again. The only positive was the food was good.

My husband and I enjoyed our recent trip to Barbados! We enjoyed having a butler for the first time and enjoyed our team, Tre, Shaq, Aquila, and Nakiesha. They took good care of us and allowed us to relax more and take care of the little things; drawing afternoon baths, having snacks in the room, handling all reservations to dinners and excursions, and making sure we had assistance with any minor issues or inconveniences. The grounds of the property are my favorite I have seen so far at other sandals properties. The flowers and greenery were stunning! We loved our excursion off the resort with Tranquility Cruises where we got to tour the island and see the monkeys at the sanctuary and snorkeling with sea turtles and shipwrecks. Overall was a good trip! We would return again!

Sandals Barbados was amazing. Staff friendly and great customer service. Our Butler Team #22 Was amazing. Shout out to Shakirra, Donald and Dequan. The best of the best.

We have just returned from a lovely 10-day stay at Sandals Barbados and had a fantastic holiday overall. We stayed in a beachfront room, which was spacious, spotlessly clean, and had an amazing view overlooking the pool and the beach. The resort itself is beautiful, and having access to all the facilities and restaurants at Sandals Royal Barbados was a real bonus. There was a great choice of restaurants, and we were able to book all the ones we wanted as soon as we arrived. Our favourite was Butch's Chophouse—we enjoyed it so much that we went twice! We also loved The Merry Monkey pub for a relaxed drink and Neptune's for its lovely setting and food. Rather than booking excursions through the hotel, we arranged our own day trips via Viator. We did an island tour with Ahmed for £170, which took us all around Barbados. It was an excellent day out, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the island. The hotel itself deserves 5 stars. Unfortunately, we have given our overall review 4 stars because of the airport transfers. When we arrived in Barbados, we checked in at the Sandals desk but then had to wait approximately 45 minutes for a shuttle bus to take us to the hotel. On our departure day, Sandals advised that we should be at the airport three hours before our flight. Our flight was at 7:50 pm, but the scheduled shuttle wasn't leaving the hotel until 5:00 pm, meaning we would arrive only around 2½ hours before departure if everything ran to schedule. When we raised this with the concierge, we were told our only options were to leave much earlier at 2:00 pm, wait until 5:00 pm, or make our own way. We decided to book a taxi ourselves at a cost of $49 to ensure we arrived at the airport in plenty of time. The staff throughout the resort were friendly and welcoming, and they helped make our stay enjoyable. Overall, we had a wonderful holiday and would definitely recommend Sandals Barbados. The resort, accommodation, food, and service were all excellent. If the airport transfer arrangements were improved, it would easily be a 5-star experience.

Our babymoon was absolutely unforgettable! Every detail exceeded our expectations. Our butlers—Ron, Kevan, Shaq, and trainee Nicoli—provided exceptional, personalized service that made us feel truly pampered from start to finish. Fabiana from the concierge team was incredibly kind and helpful, ensuring everything was seamless for our babymoon package. We also had an amazing snorkeling excursion with Seanico, who made the experience so much fun and memorable. The couples massages were incredibly relaxing, the candlelight dinner was romantic and beautifully arranged, and our photoshoot perfectly captured such a special chapter in our lives. Thank you to the entire Sandals team for making our babymoon one we'll cherish forever!
